Recently, Adobe has a problem not only with Applem. First started in 2007 Apple just ignore Flash, that's it... At that time, Adobe management failed to provide serious answers and demos that he requested Apple regarding Flash for mobile devices. All nakonec ended with iPhone and iPod touch simply do not support Adobe Flash Player. In three years everyone has become somewhat accustomed to it, but then Adobe introduced a professional way to bypass flash. It was not about playing video, but about how to easily and professionally convert applications to a supported format under the Adobe banner App Store from Flash.
There are currently about 50 Adobe Flash games in the world. However, this tool, which Adobe introduced, among other things, at iPhoneDevCamp, which LsA organized was supposed to be part of Creative Suite 5.
Apple iPhone OS 4.0 vs. Adobe Flash Player
However, just a few days before the launch of CS5, he released Apple a new operating system for developers iPhone OS 4.0 and of course the SDK that comes with it, which prohibits the use of any tool to convert applications from any language other than the language supported by iTunes App Store and SDK. Adobe was understandably upset and many of its employees started posting rather nasty remarks about the address on their blogs on the Internet. Apple and Steve Jobs himself. Not to be outdone, Steve issued an official statement clearly labeling Flash as an outdated technology that no longer has a use for it and is not intended for touchscreens. After all, you can read the translation of Jobs' statement yourself here. Ok, so one CEO of a company doesn't like us, even though we have one Windows, which is loved by the whole world and used by the whole world, Adobe told itself, and no one was addressing the situation except its CEO.
Microsoft vs. Adobe Acrobat Reader and Flash Player
But in recent days he has leaned on Adobe Microsoft! Not only in his Flash player, but also in Acrobat Reader. Exactly on May 3.5, 2010, the PC World server published an article from which I quote the following sentences: if Microsoft do Windows integrated a simple PDF viewer, it could contribute to the greater security of this operating system. Attackers would no longer be able to exploit errors in Reader from Adobe. "Apple that's what he does and Microsoft should also integrate a simple PDF viewer into their system,” says Sean Sullivan, security consultant at Finnish antivirus manufacturer F-Secure"I just want to view PDFs, I don't want to read them."chat, watch or run JavaScript,” Sullivan adds, referring to several advanced features of Adobe’s browser. Some of these features, such as support for JavaScript, are regularly targeted by hackers. According to security company McAfee, the number of discovered holes in PDFs increased more than eightfold last year compared to 2008. For example, the /Launch function, which allows PDF documents to launch additional applications, is currently being exploited by a dangerous worm that is spreading across the Internet. Sullivan therefore wrote in an open letter on the F-Secure American companies are telling us that "users are tired of these security risks" and are asking for a simple PDF viewer to be integrated directly into Windows. Microsoft has not yet commented on this challenge. So, according to one of the world's top security experts, Acrobat Reader is dangerous, but what about Flash? Contrary to Steve Jobs' words, the criticism from Microsoft much milder, but poses no less of a risk for Adobe. "Flash's problems can be summed up in three words: reliability, security and performance," practically sums up the attitude Microsoftat Dean Hachamovitch, who is responsible for the development of the Internet browser at the company Explorer. Currently, Adobe is facing the death of two products, the more likely one being Adobe Flash and the less likely one being Acrobat Reader.
